Pros: if you want to feel like old Bangkok you are in the right place. There is a small canal right behind the house. The houseis situated in a side road, so no traffic there. We loved the feeling of the wood house and the communication with Pintula was fluid and helpful with a simple check-in.
Cons: for some (like me) this might be a pro: in the side ally where you get to the place the neighbour's life is fully visible and you walk by laundry, people eating,trash, a small frying kitchen etc etc.
The smoker balcony is right in front of the apartment. Theteis not many people there but usually loud and at inconvenient times.
Because of the noise problem there are no comfy chairs outside just a tiny bench, otherwise the balcony (facing the canal and trees there) would be a big plus.
I would not recommendgoing there with small children since the floors are noisy and it is hard to stop them from running around. We had people from the floor below knocking because of that.
